4-5. Using the driving support systems
Example of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the speed
of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the
driver.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any vehi cles ahead driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise co ntrol is not possible, the display will
flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this
would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a
vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instance s, there is a possibility that the warnings will not
occur:
●When the speed of the vehicle ahea d matches or exceeds your vehi-
cle speed
●When the vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed
●Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
●At the instant the accelerator is applied

LDA (Lane Departure Alert)
While driving on a road that has lane markers, this system recognizes the
lane markers using a camer a as a sensor to alert the driver when the vehi-
cle deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle ma y deviate from its lane, it alerts the
driver using beeping and indications on the multi-information display.

When the LDA system is on, the lane lines are shown.
The inside of the lane lines turn
white when the right and left lane
markers are recognized.
If the vehicle deviates from the lane,
the lane line on the side the vehicle
deviates from will flash.
The inside of the recognized lane
line turns white when the right or left
lane marker is recognized.
If the vehicle deviates from a lane that
has lane markers recognized, the lane
line will flash.
The inside of the lane lines turn
black when no lane marker is rec-
ognized or the LDA system is tem-
porarily canceled.
